[No gems received with Ultimate Edition]

I'm missing the gems (which is understandable), but also the boost and inventory slot, and the extra character slot seems to be unusable. Little annoying, but I figure things on the back end are under an unusual amount of pressure.

[LWS 2: Echoes of the past - no mail (blocking progress)]

I had the same trouble. Deleted a few quest and Anet related mails and the quest suddenly moved from 'check your mail' to 'Investigate Fort Salma again'. Baffling, but it worked.

[Rallying the crystal bloom]

Where? I've spoken to everyone in the Eye with the star-merchant marker, bought stuff with both the inventory crystals and defense tokens, and that counter hasn't gone up one jot.

[Number of people doing Living World Meta Achievements is Declining]

The last couple batches of meta achievements have been utter garbage. Give me thirty achievements, have me do twenty for 'completion'. Don't give me a bloody Sophie's Choice between equally bad 'achievements', or make the assumption that anyone likes your content enough to do a Strike Mission upwards of twenty times.

I still haven't finished a couple of the Elonian metas, and I doubt I'll bother with the ones after the Charr homelands.

[How would you like to travel to Cantha?]

Skipping the whole thing.

[What do you think of the new Living World: Champions? (spoilers inside) - [Merged]]

Damage spongy enemies, and bosses so dull I actually played dead through the third mission and went off to do something else. I'm going to have to do the third one over, because I apparently took a perfectly logical shortcut to Ascalon Settlement and missed the mastery point. Le whee.

Somehow they made something even more boring than the original strike missions.

There is one thing though: the writing was obnoxious enough that I've developed the same detestation for the NPCs that all of my guildmates have.

[Steel and Fire Mastery Meta Requirement is too tight]

@Shadowmoon.7986 said:You only need t3 for the backpeice, only the title need 36/37 achievements.Generally speaking, i like reward structure of this, you have a reason now to do strikes. The armor set is a really good slow burn, which is needed in this game.

No, I assure you, I still have zero interest in faffing around with strikes.

[Scion & Champion living story bug blocking process]

Began the first challenge. No idea how Aurene was supposed to be absorbing volatile magic, but strongly suspect that bit of script wasn't firing properly.
